I've had a look on their website but I was wondering if anyone had any Subaru specific instructions? Also where do I connect my boost gauge sensor to as all the tappings on the inlet manifold are taken?

The oil temp sender goes into the tapping on top of No3 cylinder, which has a large headed blanking plug in it. It's an 8mm hex, so you need a LONG strong key. Mine was £8.
No3 cylinder is o/s rear.
Then an adaptor for said tapping to take the Defi sender, a further £8 from Scoobymania.
To install the adaptor space is tight, so I removed intercooler, (you'll need it off to access the blanking plug too), then temporarily "threaded" the adaptor onto a ball-point pen outer, and started it in it's threads, finishing with a socket.
Use PTFE tape on it's threads and the sender threads for a good seal.
Oil pressure goes in the oil pressure switch hole behind the alternator.
Chiark's site has excellent instructions for moving the alternator, and the sender goes as a direct replacement for the o/p switch, which is redundant. PTFE tape again helps.
As far as the boost gauge, my Defi's came with a T-piece, which You could use to T into the front n/s pipe from the inlet manifold. On mine, there was a rubber blanking piece on it, so no pipe, and I didn't need the T-piece.
Hope this is of help.
Mail me if you need more.
